Another fun day in the Keys.....we exercised and then instead of biking (very windy again), we walked to our coffee shop for iced coffees (3 mile round-trip) and back to Daisy. Jane and Joe came at 11 and we were off to Cudjoe Key and lunch at the Square Grouper. WOW.....Mark's brother Tom and Beth had told us about this place after we had left Marathon last year. It is on the way to Key West (about 25 miles from Marathon). Nothing fancy on the outside - just a square building but very nice interior with thee most interesting menu and fabulous food! We were all sooo pleased with our lunches topped off by sharing 2 desserts - apple pudding with warm butter rum sauce AND a square brownie with caramel salted ice cream and heath bar crunchies - both were to die for!!!
The Square Grouper got its name back in the 70's-80's - You can google history of Square Grouper for a very interesting story and most definitely, EAT there if passing by!!! It's a GEM!

After lunch we drove around Bahia Honda State Park (campground, cabins, concessions,
pretty beaches, etc) Back to Daisy's picnic table for euchre which Joe and I won 3 out of 5 games.
Nice quiet evening - walked to the water for sunset (nothing special), but visited with neighbors, Rob and Marsha (Ozarks, MO) and Mary Catherine and Graham (Greensboro, NC) sitting around their campfire (propane)!
